[Verse 1] Oh! promise me, that some day you and I / Will take our love together to some sky, / Where we can be alone and faith renew, / And find the hollows where those flowers grew, / Those first sweet violets of early spring, / Which come in whispers, thrill us both, and sing / Of love unspeakable that is to be, / Oh! promise me, Oh! promise me!
[Verse 2] Oh! promise me, that you will take my hand, / The most unworthy in this lonely land, / And let me sit beside you, in your eyes / Seeing the vision of our paradise. / Hearing love’s message while the organ rolls, / Its mighty music to our very souls, / No love less perfect than a life with thee, / Oh! promise me, Oh! promise me!
